February 16, 2026 - DUAL TEAM WRESTLING CHAMPIONSHIPS

Due to the many scheduling changes brought on by winter weather in late January and early February the North Carolina High School Athletic Association team wrestling championships will not be conducted at the First Horizon (Greensboro) Coliseum this year. Instead, the final rounds of the team tournaments will be conducted tomorrow at eight different locations.

Randolph County teams still wrestling include Uwharrie Charter Academy, winners of three straight 1A team championships but wrestling this year in the 4A classification, and 3A teams Wheatmore, Eastern Randolph and 2024 2A champion Trinity. Uwharrie Charter was asked to host the 4A championship and Wheatmore the 3A title matches. Both venues will host seven teams Tuesday night for the final three rounds of wrestling in both the east and west regions followed by State Championship matches.

At Uwharrie Charter: East Region #1 UCA , #2 Morehead, #3 Central Davidson and #4 North Pitt.

West Region #1 Pisgah, #2 R-S Central, #3 Maiden and #4 Bandys.

At Wheatmore: East Region #1 Trinity, #2 Wheatmore, #3 Eastern Randolph and #13 Ayden Grifton.

West Region #1 Lincolnton, #2 Mount Airy, #3 Polk County and #5 West Lincoln.

Admission is $15 for all seven matches at each location, cash only at the door.

Other championship locations: South Davidson (1A), East Wilkes (2A), Cedar Ridge (5A), Union Pines (6A), Athens Drive (7A) and Northwest Guilford (8A).

The 1A and 8A brackets have one less round so will feature four teams wrestling their regional finals and the winners then competing for the state title.

In 2021 the Individual Wrestling Championships were hosted by Wheatmore (2A) and Uwharrie Charter (1A). Also in 2021, Wheatmore hosted the 1A and 4A basketball championships while Providence Grove hosted 2A and 3A games.
